For this tutorial you will need the materials in the zip file below.


Unzip the materials into a working folder you have created on your desktop named Feathers of Fall. Please duplicate and close original tubes and use duplicates for your work. I have used the plugins VM Instant Art/Three Cuts, Andromeda/Perspective, Filter Attacks and Mystic Nights/Frosted Glass in this tutorial. Place the annesska-a1 gradient in your PSP/Gradients folder. Place the ArasimagesFeathers of Fall.pfp in the following file path: My PSP Files/Plugins/Andromeda-serie portable/Perspective-Presets/andromeda/02Full Canvas/23Freeform folder. It is assumed you have a working knowledge of PSP to follow these directions. PSPX6 was used for this tutorial but other versions may be used.

Thanks go toSilvie and to the unknown tubers for the great tubes used in this tutorial.
